Yup................if you don't mind paying for gas. The truck gets about 22mpg on the highway.

Helmet included.

Unless your dad has the 800 Sportster; this bike won't outrun him.

Top speed I've hit on it is about 110mph true speed.




............................but you'll defininetly outrun run him in the twisties though..

Nice bikes but not my cup of tea! Just cant see why you would pay that much money for something that cant get out of its own way, i mean take a 800lb bike and 55hp for $6-19k, id rather have a street bike!

I'm not sure of the point you're trying to get across. For instance..........the fastest guy on our race team just broke multiple ribs and a few vertebra. After some therapy he'll be back on the bike.

You can wreck doing 10mph or 100mph; and get greater injuries with the 10mph wreck; it all depends on the situation.

Riding is dangerous. That's we we all wear gear.

thats how my knee looked 2 summers ago but you could see a bit of the kneecap where everything got scraped off. If I hadn't had textile pants it would have been a lot worse
